Best Team Names Topic

I get a kick out of seeing the team names that everyone comes up with in the various themes. Of the leagues I'm in, here are my nominees:

$70m (1C) -- farleyfustle has 'Name Tags Needed' for his band of mediocre White Sox. There would have been bonus points if he had included Walt "No Neck" Williams on his team of no-names!

$80m (2C) -- There are several good ones to choose from here, but I'll pick mattedesa's 'We Don't Need No Stinkin' Singles!,' which I almost went with myself. Honorable Mention to 'Warning Track Meet' (bansberg) and pumped's 'Reporting You to HR!'

$100m (3B) -- Not as much room for creativity given this theme, but I'll go with RebJebb and the '83 Phillies Wheeze Kids' for homage and Bansberg in a repeat with '1909 Cubs - Year 1 of the Curse.'

$110m (4A) -- I confess I don't get the joke, but I have to go with oldtimer59 for 'Paul Lynde for the Block,' comprised of Cubs, Braves, Twins, Astros, and Dodgers. I also love NebHusker's World Cup-themed name, 'A Giant Met a Pirate-both got a Red Card!'

$125m (5B) -- Here I like snuffy45 for his nod to mega-group Chicago with '125 for 6 to 4!'

$140m (6B) -- Saving the best for last, my favorite across all leagues is another musical reference to the legendary Chilliwack, and their smash 'Gone, Gone, Gone, She Been Gonsolin.' LOL! Have to give a couple of Honorable Mentions here as well, to oldtimer59 (again) with 'VANNA'S NITEMARE' and happyhours for 'Giannis Antetokounmpo!'

Whose do you like from your leagues?

In the $70M, I go with calhoop's "Boston - Morgan a Feeling"

In the $125M, I tip my cap to MJDSupporter for "No Steve Austins"

In the $140M, RebJebb gets me with "Quick brown fo( )"

Thanks for the shoutouts guys,I always like to get creative with the names..... usually music related hence the Chicago reference
Also, I wanted to go with Chixx dig the long ball, but it was already taken twice lolll so I tried to think of something with HR

I enjoy the creative names too btw

These names are awesome! Glad I made the list! (Likely my high watermark of the tournament!) perhaps my CCCP in Egalitarian Pandemonium needs explaining? Loved Looney Platoons (jtpsops), Tiny Hienie (odalasgagne), Letters of Intent (just4me - who no doubt figured out how to select 13 pitchers using only 10 letters!). Great thread!

Lots of good names in 5c - my 125m. Many already shouted out here (125 or 6 to 4 - twice! ... CCCP ... Why him 6mil & me 4mil) but I think "Welcome to the Juggle" might be my favorite
